Max on edgar street accrington next to railway pub,
Sorry and no offense intended to Max taxi , but I can remember the days when there were things called Accrington Corporation Buses that served all parts of the the Borough (Hyndburn) for less than 2 shillings (10d)per trip and they ran on a regular 15/20 minute schedule , never heard once of any trouble (last bus Friday/Saturday night) folks knew how to behave or were 'turfed off' and had to walk .
Seems to me looking back (maybe through rose coloured glasses ) you could get off the Ossy bus and jump onto the Haslingden (sp?) bus with a 5 minute connection time in either direction .
The prolification of taxi services in a western society seems to me to be a regressive step backwards to third world standards where community standards have failed .
sorry just my thoughts on the subject
